Cryptic Elephant
Transparent Column Encryption for PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is a widely used enterprise-scale relational database engine that is standards compliant and extensible. The software runs on all major operating systems. This project will deliver a PostgreSQL extension for Transparent Column Encryption, written in Rust. This allows for transparent data encryption, comply8ing with industry standards and regulation, without requiring a fork of Postgres. Data would be encrypted in memory, using Envelop Encryption to protect the Data Encryption Key (DEK). Key Encryption Keys (KEK) are stored in an external key management system, making key rotation easy and fast.
